Did you know today is Be Nice to Bugs Day? 🐞🦋🐛🐜

Now, I know some of you might be thinking "eww, gross" but hear me out! These little creatures might seem insignificant, but they play a huge role in our ecosystem. Plus, they're pretty fascinating if you take a closer look.

Today I’m not asking you to go give a spider a kiss or go snuggle a wasp, but I am asking you to take a second if you see a bug to remember they're just tiny creatures trying to make a living in this big world. So instead of reaching for that bug spray, give bugs a chance.


*please note that spiders, worms and snails are not technically bugs but we felt it was important to add them since they get a bad wrap and are often killed in houses and gardens— we will do another post soon regarding what is a bug*

The thinking person must oppose all cruel customs no matter how deeply rooted in tradition and surrounded by a halo. When we have a choice we must avoid bringing torment and injury into the life of another.

Alt National Park Service
I'm a crane fly, commonly known as a giant mosquito. Due to the ignorance of many people, they took my life without me posing any danger. I don't suck blood, I'm not a vampire. Feeding on the nectar of flowers and helping with pollination, just doing my natural duty. Now that you know me, please don't kill me.

Wild Animals Australia
How to make netting wildlife-safe.⬇️

There are many different types of netting available on the market. Something to consider is whether you need to protect the whole tree or just the individual fruit.

Netting systems that pose the most risk to wildlife are products that don’t pass “the finger test”. Ideally, the safest mesh to use has holes of 5mm or less. In some states it is illegal to use netting with holes larger than this.

Netting that is loose or tattered and isn’t properly enclosed at the bottom of the tree, also may cause animals to become caught inside.

When installing netting, ensure the system is secured properly to the trunk of the tree or the ground, to prevent animals getting inside. Alternatively, attach the netting to a supporting frame to place over the tree. Fruit bags are also great for protecting individual fruit and are easier to manage too.

MYTH: If someone touches a baby animal, the mother won’t come back.

No doubt this myth was started to prevent people from messing with wild animals because we really shouldn’t be handling them. The problem is, most people believe it and won’t try to reunite babies with their mothers, if they or someone they know, touched the baby.

The gloves we ask you to wear are to protect YOU. Mom will often come back, even if her baby smells a little different. This goes for baby birds too!

Please spread the word. We can save lives simply by informing others. 🙏
